^Love the military yet hate the Commander in Chief? Nonsense... the MIC IS the root of most of our problems (minus the FRS... who are in bed in a den of vipers together.) FWIW, I doubt anyone in the Pentagon or the FRS is taking orders from the Donald...

“A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defence agst. foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the pretext of defending, have enslaved the people."
-James Madison

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around(these banks) will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
-Thomas Jefferson

Of course Madison and Jefferson were puppet bitches, err Presidents, but they blatantly predicted how America (and just about every nation) shall fall... and it's old news...

The working class has been swindled across all nations for eons by the ruling class... and standing armies and central banks are exactly how they do it...

Audit the FED, fire theIRS (what's that spell?,) disband the MIC and put an end to all foreign military engagement.

Peace & Liberty for all.

And let Trump do what Trump does best, declare bankruptcy... tell all nations claiming the US owes them $20 trillion that we will not be paying them... our grandchildren don't owe anyone a dime.

Then start selling our foreign military bases to the highest bidders and reinvest that revenue into American people and prosperity.

And if Trump did try this, he'd get assassinated... so tho he'd fail, at least we won't have to read anymore of his tweets.

Murder isn't cool... thus war isn't cool... thus armies are absurd... the only way to maintain standing armies is thru taxation(theft) or them going out creating conflicts so they can steal from other nations.

Stealing isn't cool... thus taxation isn't cool... the only way for a central fiat bank to sustain is to collect every dollar ever printed with interest thus enslaving all people operating in the economy.

If you really want me to change my stance on murder and theft, then you're barking up the wrong tree.

well, the nice thing is, the prez. can't just push a button and "launch nukes". There is a chain of command and layers of people involved. It can be a "lawful order" as far as the prez. making it. but, the people along the chain can question it and delay/refuse.

“Only the President can direct the use of nuclear weapons by U.S. armed forces, including the Single Integrated Operational Plan (SIOP). While the President does have unilateral authority as commander-in-chief to order that nuclear weapons be used for any reason at any time, the actual procedures and technical systems in place for authorizing the execution of a launch order requires a secondary confirmation under a two-man rule, as the President's order is subject to secondary confirmation by the Secretary of Defense. If the Secretary of Defense does not concur, then the President may in his sole discretion fire the Secretary. The Secretary of Defense has legal authority to approve the order, but cannot veto it.[1][2][3]
